Waterboxer is different as the reverse gear is not there. Very important note when re-assembling. Do not make the shaft tight together before pushing the coupling down. Back off at least one spline so that the shaft can wobble slightly in the coupling. Failure to leave some slack will result in that stud breaking at a minimum. Those longer pilot bearings with the seal eliminates the need for the felt washer. If using this on a water boxer or air cooled you have to make sure the full length of the bearing will fit in the crankshaft bore. Otherwise the flywheel will crush it unless you bore the flywheel out to accept it. You can also drill out the step in the crankshaft. Often, when a pilot bearing fails the ring that holds the felt washer in place gets wiped out. As that part is not readily available, the longer pilot bearing is a good fix and an upgrade. Dennis

Note. This shows the DK (air cooled. Same as diesel IIRC) May also shed light for WBX transmission input shaft. Neil.
